{"product_id":"xirena-denim-shirt-ben-shirt-meridian-blue","title":"XIRENA | Ben Denim Shirt - Meridian-Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eBen reworks the classic denim shirt in a soft, fluid lyocell that trades stiffness for drape. Cast in Meridian Blue, a deep, slightly dusted indigo that reads true to denim without the weight, the shirt sits at the point between utilitarian and refined — a single piece that carries the codes of workwear through a lighter, more considered hand.\n\nThe fabric is the story here: a denim-inspired lyocell engineered for an ultra-soft feel against the skin, with a fluid, almost liquid drape that a true cotton denim could never achieve. It moves with the body rather than against it, softening the boxy structure typically associated with a denim shirt and letting the garment fall in clean, unbroken lines from shoulder to hem. The hand is smooth rather than crisp, closer to a washed cotton-lyocell blend than raw workwear cloth, which is what gives Ben its off-duty ease.\n\nCut with a slightly cropped length, Ben sits just above the natural waistline, making it easy to wear open over a base layer or buttoned through as a standalone top tucked into high-rise denim or tailored trousers. The button-front closes with faux horn buttons, a detail that nods to heritage shirting while keeping the finish contemporary. A single left chest pocket anchors the front, offering both function and the visual balance of a traditional workshirt. The hem is left raw-edged, an unfinished detail that reinforces the denim-inspired character of the fabric and gives the piece a lived-in, off-duty edge straight out of the box.\n\nWorn open, Ben moves easily over a plain tank or fine-knit top, its soft drape settling rather than standing away from the body — a quality that makes it as suited to layering in transitional weather as to standing alone on warmer days. Buttoned and tucked, it reads more directed, sitting cleanly at the waist without bulk thanks to the lightness of the lyocell. The slightly cropped proportion keeps it from overwhelming a smaller frame while still leaving room to layer beneath tailoring.\n\nThis is a shirt built for rotation rather than a single occasion. Pair it with straight-leg denim and flat sandals for a considered off-duty uniform, or layer it under a tailored blazer with trousers for a look that carries through the working week. Left unbuttoned over a slip dress, it becomes a lightweight jacket substitute for cooler evenings. The Meridian Blue colourway keeps it grounded in a classic denim palette, meaning it slots in beside existing indigo pieces without competing for attention — a foundational layer designed to be worn often, styled differently each time, and never saved for best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XIRENA","offers":[{"title":"MERIDIAN BLUE \/ XS","offer_id":41821142581381,"sku":"443 BEN SHIRT","price":2290.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MERIDIAN BLUE \/ S","offer_id":41821142614149,"sku":"443 BEN SHIRT","price":2290.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/XIRENA-443_BEN_SHIRT-MERIDIAN_BLUE_01.jpg?v=1787351016","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/xirena-denim-shirt-ben-shirt-meridian-blue","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
